Force 'new window' links to open in new tabs in Safari
Authored by: MacTipper on Wed, Mar 26 2008 at 10:22AM PDT

Several people are saying that this already works for them in Safari. The way you probably got this behavior was by going to the "Tabs" pane of the Safari prefs and unchecking "Cmd-Click opens a link in a new tab".

The difference though, is that the links the tip works on are links that have target="about.blank" in them. So a link like this one forces Safari to open the link in a new window. But when you use this tip, this same link opens in a new tab.

As far as running the defaults delete... command, using true and false worked for me.
